I see it a bit different. yes I am involving myself in violence, no debate there, but the ends of what I am pursuing is not violence in and of itself. But please understand me, I am not doing this as a moral inquiry, as you put it.

Condescension noted.

What if you intend to hurt someone to protect someone else? If someone attacked you, would you intentionally hurt them to protect yourself?

I know you REALLY want to defend your initial point, but I am right. Take a deep breath and read more critically.

Self defense can involve violence. Sorry if you…

Do you mean bdrlgion? How did you come to that interpretation?

Don’t speak for him. Speak for yourself.

Quote you:

That’s very kind and open minded of you to imply I’m not honest about why I watch MMA, especially since you know nothing about me.

Since you pretend to know what my motivations are, perhaps you could tell me what my favorite color is? Maybe you could tell me what my favorite food is, since you are an authority on me.

It is possible to separate it from the violence. It’s also not possible to separate it from the violence. That sounds contradictory, but a lot of the exploration I spoke of involved the exploration of violence. One can understand it better if they can confront it head on. It’s like looking at the Devil. It’s one thing…

I would never attempt to change your mind over your disgust for violence. Far too many people in this world relish violence. One less person who thrive on violence is a good thing, but I would like to explain my point of view on the subject.

I myself am a pacifist. I think the only genuinely moral application of…

It’s not all about violence. I personally don’t watch it for the violence.

But I noticed your name, so you probably want to take a few stabs at Americans. You do know this sport originated in other countries and that many of the fighters and fans are not American?

Right?

As an avid fan of the sport, the violence does make me wince, but I’m not watching it for the violence. There are other things to appreciate about the sport.

Love or hate Connor McGregor, I think he is keenly aware of the position he’s in. He know he hasn’t faced many wrestlers and he knows he’s vulnerable. He’ll never have the aura of relative invulnerability of some of his contemporaries like Jon Jones or Ronda Rousey. He also has to know everyone knows his weaknesses.

He…

Cockfighting is sadistic animal abuse. MMA is voluntary. If you posted to prove otherwise, you really don’t have a clue.

Has a lazy ignorant person posted about how they think this is human cockfighting yet? Because I haven’t seen that dumbass yet. They’re bound to show up at some point.

This guy’s a regular? I pegged him for one of the numerous troll accounts that pop up and disappear all the time.

Kinda glad I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting this guy before now.

Nothing she says is about censorship, and none of this supports what you claim. She is again just expressing her opinion. No one is being destroyed. No one is being forced to do anything. And yet you somehow interpret this as some sort of threat or oppression.

As an example, you give the harassment Anita has received?

I don’t...I don’t have words for how ignorant you are. Anita has hardly been detroyed by her harassment, so by your logic her followers will soon destroy someone?

Nice job trying to stir up faux outrage over something that hasn’t happened. I was debating whether…

Name one person they have destroyed.

I wouldn’t say you are sexist. I just think you might not know what a consultant is.
